Prayers of a Secular World

Poems of faith and doubt, signs and wonders, epiphanies and longing, poems that lift you through the darkness. This exquisite blue book finished with gold foil is a collection of poems that are prayers for our time.

Rising from a fresh modern spirituality, these meditations and contemplations from more than eighty contemporary Australian poets offer wisdom and consolation on today’s moral issues. They elaborate on everyday misgivings, the discovery and re-discovery of a mysteriously undeniable and often irresistible force; they include blessings, petitions and charms and prayers of transition. And most importantly they offer forgiveness for the innate cruelty of human nature, our complicity in climate change, and our everyday sins.

‘An inspiring collection. Poets, new and old, offer us immediate glimpses of what it is to be one of the creatures in a world that never ceases to surprise us simply by being there, both outside us and within.’ -David Malouf
